Reviews
I wouldn’t be writing this review if there were not about 39,000 seniors in San Joaquin County who need to know what I found out. I thought seniors had special protection under Elder Abuse Laws, and from what I read, they would be treated with dignity and would get assistance to make the process of reporting the abuse and the trial process as easy on them as possible. That was not my experience. In fact, the process of contacting the Elder Abuse Hotline and getting any help was just as painful as the abuse, and I still have not been able to file a complaint. When I called the hotline, I told the woman my name and the apartment complex I lived in. She said I would need to file a police report first before they could help me. Nowhere did I see that requirement. Not on the Stockton DA’s website or anywhere. She said I could file online, and I went to the website she gave me, spent time writing everything and submitted it. It was rejected because where I live is in the San Joaquin Count Sherriff’s jurisdiction. I told her where I lived. Shouldn’t she have known? The Sherriff’s department website allowed you to file a police report for only 4 crimes. Mine was not an option, and I was supposed to call the Sherriff’s department and talk to who knows. I haven’t even told my sister and I am supposed to tell whomever answered the phone there? It probably would have been a male cop. Now that I am over 65, it seems I am just an old woman whose problems are trivialized. I don’t know about any of you but I resent the question Do you live alone and since I turned 65 everyone thinks it is relevant, especially doctors. Does a 50 year old get asked that question or did I just become incompetent in a single day. I want to respond with Do you? It is none of their business and it doesn’t have any significance. Even if I am reporting an abuse case, the point is to stop the abuser and not delve into my business. The hotline person went way beyond that and insinuated if I didn’t want the help of a caregiver, a cleaning person, a family member or nurse to take care of me I was saying I didn’t want help. My downstairs neighbors have been torturing me, and I have to let people take control of my life to report it? I thought that was the abuser’s role. My choices and my decisions as far as remaining in control of my own life and not allowing anyone to take that away from me obviously makes me unworthy of help with what they are supposed to be there for. That I found invasive and offensive as was the laughter in the background and cheeriness in her voice when she was leaving a voicemail message. If someone is being abused and is trying to get help from an abuse hotline, should laughter and a cheerful voicemail make them feel better about the abuse? I don’t think it is appropriate. Then I was told the DA would call me in a couple of hours and talk to me and can you guess what happened? I just think you should all know that the protection we think we have and the people who are there to help us are not what we were expecting and I, for one, think the help I thought I would get and the help I got were on different planets. I hope this does not get rejected because seniors need to be informed and not by going to websites that promise they will live with dignity and integrity. That ends at 64.

Mixed my court fees with another person with the same name. Went to court and DA told judge I had a ridiculous amount in fees. Going to take a while to fix this.
